WHY IT MATTERS

According to Forrester Research, 89% of product leaders currently have to wait hours-to-weeks to get the insights they need, either due to a slow technology set or lack of access to data.Forrester Research

Speed

Get answers at the rate of your questions.

If you’re getting answers too slowly, you’re not alone. Most product cycles lag. For most queries, Mixpanel returns results in under a second. Designed to handle user-centric queries, the response time is faster than warehouses like Redshift.

“I’ve been able to pull out months and megabytes, if not gigabytes, of data out of Mixpanel, and it only took seconds.”Vural Cifci, Vice President of Digital Marketing @STARZ

SCALABILITY & RELIABILITY

Send everything to Mixpanel. It won’t break.

Mixpanel receives over eight trillion new data points a year and can process up to 150 billion events per query. And no matter how much data your product sends to Mixpanel, the architecture can handle it—historic uptime for ingestion and querying is 99.99%.

Query the way you want. Novices and experts welcome.

Each data professional can choose how to access product data, from programmers to novices. Mixpanel’s UI can go deep in core reports and for power users, Mixpanel’s Javacript Querying Language allows manipulation of raw data.

“Compared to today’s traditional data science query languages, such as SQL, Javascript Query Language is awesome. As a developer, it’s so convenient to use.”Anubhav Shrivastava, Director of Engineering @Viacom
